hmm you've heard my 2cents but umm need to be a little bit less melodramatic when posting and you'll get better responces

 

flooding? i don't think i've ever heard of a coil pack failing...

 

!WOH! CALM DOWN! :p

Your engine might be flooded. Pull the EGI fuse under the hood and crank the engine for about 10 seconds wide open throttle. Then put the fuse back in and try starting.

I doubt it is your coilpacks.
Go here for the specs on the coil packs:

This link to the coil specs doesn't work. Got anymore?

Thanks.

Hey teckmonage....the dude has a good attitude and is showing some humor and a little levity...i could say the same about you being too serious, but I won't....this aint a "shrink" forum...be cool dude...live and let live

 

Pull a spark plug wire. With your left hand touch exposed metal on the engine or frame (ground). Place spark plug wire on tip of tongue and have friend crank engine. Your tongue will tell you if you have spark.

Alternative method, attach timing gun pickup to each of the plug wires, one at a time, and crank and see if timing gun light blinks. If it does, you got spark and your engine is probably flooded. 37k miles is too low of mileage for anything to go bad. If car has not been run in a while, its possible your fuel is bad and gummed up an injector or two.
